Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6735,1372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6735,1372 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 525,240
3 | 525, 240 |
5 | 175, 80 |
35, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 35 x 16 = 8400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6735/525,1372/240 is 1/8400
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 525,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(525,240) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(525,240) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(525,240) = ( 525 × 240 ) / 15
LCM(525,240) = 126000 / 15
LCM(525,240) = 8400
